.SH NAME
\fBPOP3Lite\fP \- 3lite POP3 Daemon
.SH SYNTAX
.B pop3lite
.RI [ Options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B POP3Lite
is a flexible, \fIRFC 1939\fP compliant Post Office Protocol 3 daemon.

It implements everything mentioned in the RFC (either natively, or via
modules), and some other things that are not strictly POP3 related
capabilities (such as modules, PAM support, SQL configuration, etc).

It was written because I found no other POP3 daemon, that would suit
my needs. The ones I found were either buggy or not flexible enough. I
could try to hack my enhancements in one of them, but writing a brand
new one seemed to be an easier task.

As far as I know, POP3Lite is the only daemon that is designed to be
extensible.
